in love with stories where characters are literally, physically haunted by a figure or a ghost or a shadow whatever but it's revealed at the end that it was them in the future desperately trying to communicate with themselves, but in doing so they only reproduced the conditions that led them to this desperate need of communication in the first place

#it's like. timeloop meets self-realized prophecy ?#obviously thinking about hill house #oxenfree & interstellar to some extent #that NTO music video i just watched #ALSO the secret's in the telling pyrophoric ao3 dot org. obviously. always.#actually idek for oxenfree bc i barely remember the game but i know at some point i was convinced i was receiving a message from #my future self but i cant remember if that was true or just my theory #like idk theres just something about spending your whole life looking for something that's right there at the edge of your vision #and finding out that this whole time the thing was you #i think it should be used more in coming of age stories #where the figure is not a negative thing it's just there #looking at the protag #and it's actually just the older version of the protag witnessing whatever they're going through and trying to be a support for themselves #'hope traveling backwards to find us to whisper into our chest there will be music for you one day' etc etc
